Advanced Computational Intelligence for Object Detection Feature Extraction and Recognition in Smart Sensor Environments

<p><span style=color: rgba(128 128 128 1)>Recent years have seen a vast development in various methodologies for object detection and feature extraction and recognition both in theory and in practice. When processing images videos or other types of multimedia one needs efficient solutions to perform fast and reliable processing. Computational intelligence is used for medical screening where the detection of disease symptoms is carried out in prevention monitoring to detect suspicious behavior in agriculture systems to help with growing plants and animal breeding in transportation systems for the control of incoming and outgoing transportation for unmanned vehicles to detect obstacles and avoid collisions in optics and materials for the detection of surface damage etc. In many cases we use developed techniques which help us to recognize some special features. In the context of this innovative research on computational intelligence the Special Issue Advanced Computational Intelligence for Object Detection Feature Extraction and Recognition in Smart Sensor Environments present an excellent opportunity for the dissemination of recent results and achievements for further innovations and development. It is my pleasure to present this collection of excellent contributions to the research community.    - Prof. Marcin Wo?niak Silesian University of Technology Poland.</span></p>
